The ‘World Economic Forum’ is a yearly event at which the
very rich gather to display their riches and exchange conscience-soothing
specious arguments to show that their being thousands of times richer than the
next person is somehow good for the next person. This year some commentators
have been disappointed that ‘only’ 16% of the delegates are women. I am
disappointed that it is that many. The disgusting sickness of amassing more
wealth than one needs and then showing off seems to me very male. True, there
have always been exceptions: the morally imbecilic such as Margaret Thatcher
and Angela Merkel, and the many who think that ‘Equality’ means doing all the
things, however revolting, that have hitherto been done almost exclusively by
men.
That’s all for today. Surely this post at least should provoke some comment?
